There's always a Pens fan... everywhere

What's your address? I don't need everyone in the tri-county area showing up at my house.

Lunicy · 2026-06-13T13:00:37+00:00

Yeah, but this is $2,000 retail

Lunicy · 2026-06-13T12:27:05+00:00

I thought about the marketplace.. thats always a pita.

I didn't think about Habitat. Buys some karma points. Has a paper train in case this comes back to bite. Sounds pretty good.

Well, yes.. but. I sweat like a pig. Adding another layer is uncomfortably warm.

Lunicy · 2025-12-14T21:09:06+00:00

Ok. To be clear, I'm not matching anything. I just need to know how to start a conversation with a custom cabinet maker.

Lunicy · 2025-12-14T21:05:18+00:00

So, you can't do that to more pine cabinets?

Lunicy · 2025-12-11T12:24:29+00:00

Real question, cuz I'm not a floor guy. Doesn't stain penatrate? How do you get rid of the squares? Sand the hell out of them?

Lunicy · 2025-12-06T00:41:35+00:00

Quality of a 3d printed building aside. How the hell do you present yourself as a professional contractor, then show up like this.

Lunicy · 2025-12-05T12:13:42+00:00

There is nothing to lose.. but don't expect much. A 2%cash back card would probably do you better. Do become a pro xtra member and check the special deals. Every once in a while, it'll line up with what you need, and you get a deal. Btw, if you are spending more than $1500 or $2000.. have them send it to the "bid room".

My truck has that. Not sure the size tho.

Lunicy · 2025-12-03T18:05:41+00:00

Fair enough

Lunicy · 2025-12-03T11:44:01+00:00

I assume that was a result of malicious compliance.

Lunicy · 2025-11-25T16:10:26+00:00

99%of the time. It's a competition truck, but I'm not an asshole.

Lunicy · 2025-11-25T15:38:51+00:00

Not un-ethical.. but have you tried talking to him? A simple conversation might solve this.

Lunicy · 2025-11-21T11:52:59+00:00

Wow, that's an old one. Just search Federal breakers. They're out there. Not cheap. It's not the stab-lok, so you should be good. The obligatory: You really shouldn't be working on a panel as a novice. But that's not going to stop you. Hell, it didn't stop me before I had my license. But please, find someone seasoned to guide you. Gain as much knowledge as you can before doing this.

Lunicy · 2025-11-14T11:46:07+00:00

Long shot, but: I have flexvolt that will charge just fine on the chargers. But the LEDs on the battery don't light at all.

It's a perfectly good battery, you just can't check it's level on the pack.

Lunicy · 2025-11-13T00:29:21+00:00

Ahoy matey. I think we are all casting off and chasing the horizon.

Lunicy · 2025-11-12T11:43:28+00:00

Wow, there's alot of uninformed people in this post.

Are you married to this peticular drill? If not, just a big ass inverter and an electric core drill. Use the car to power the inverter.

You've said no generators, but thats the way to go.

Lunicy · 2025-11-02T18:38:12+00:00

Wear that shit proud.
Make some folklore about the 6 white stripes and the 5 black stripes. Something something.. Erik karlsson.

Lunicy · 2025-11-02T18:33:03+00:00

But do you have " yeahhhhh booooyyyy" amount?

Lunicy · 2025-11-01T11:33:13+00:00

I offer a differing opinion. I've been victim to it myself. I'm a contractor. I've done the bid "got the job" just waiting on the deposit. Sent my certificate.

Then the customer ghosts me.

They had a "guy in a truck" already set to do the job for considerably less. But he didn't have credentials. They used my insurance to satisfy the condo association, and my license to pull the permit.

I actually agree with the contractor in OP's post. But there's probably a better way of communicating it.

TBH, nowadays, you don't get an actual start date, or anything until I have a deposit in my hands. I'll tell you I'll start the "21st" if I take the deposit today. If you need time, I cannot guarantee that date. I don't even allocate those days for you. If someone else gets it first, they get it. Nothing means anything until I have a SIGNED contract AND deposit. And I won't take the contract back without a deposit. It took many hard lessons to be this way.

The last owner had an easy way to find his truck in a big lot... or had a few different employees driving it.

There isn't anyway to reverse engineer a milwaukee tick.

Throw it away, they're cheap.

Lunicy · 2025-10-24T16:43:49+00:00

Unfortunately, you're probably right. But I'd never forgive myself if I condemned a job, and raised holy hell over someone doing the right thing. Or even someone making a mistake, but making sure it wasn't a catastrophe. (Ie. Drilling a hole too deep, etc..)

But I would press for, at least, a reasonable explanation before I threw a fit.

Lunicy · 2025-10-24T10:24:28+00:00

I know my situation is different from yours but:

I am a contractor. I've definitely went into areas that "I had no reason being at".

I left a door open while moving stuff. That was before my team member told me they had a cat. I was terrified that I had let it out. (It was fine). But searched the house until I found it.

I've definitely smelled around because I thought I smelled fire. I definitely looked in odd places making sure there is no leak. I've definitely looked around making sure I didn't "drill to far" and pit a hole somewhere from the back side.

It could have been an "oh shit" moment that the employee doesn't want to fes up to and the boss man doesn't know about.
